Great things happen when we study dogs and teach ourselves. Our puppy classes teach dog owners to transform into dog parents. Learning how to responsively relate and communicate in a meaningful way with our puppies creates amazing outcomes. For those looking for puppy kindergarten, obedience or puppy socialization classes, you have come to the right place. :)

Please call them. Megan will answer all your questions. We too have a pup that is very different from our previous dogs. We needed help too. We're now in our second class at YDBF and we've learned so much.

I was completely lost with how to address issues with my 7-year-old rescue dog, who was becoming increasingly reactive during walks. Freddie stepped in and immediately began dissecting the reasons behind her reactions and equipping us with the necessary tools to address the situation. Freddie's patience was remarkable, and instead of merely telling us what to do, he demonstrated that positive and effective transformation for our pups is achievable. I am grateful for the newfound tools and confidence Freddie has given us. Thanks to his guidance, we now go on walks with confidence.

Cannot recommend this company enough. I had the pleasure of working with Freddie to help ease my dog’s resource guarding and anxious aggression. I have tried multiple other dog trainers to no success, nobody seemed to understand the root of the issue and often suggested surface level fixes that never stuck or made things worse. First off, my dog is usually very standoffish towards men and I often warn people she won’t get near them for at least a few visits. Freddie had my dog hanging out calmly next to him within 15 minutes of meeting her. After two session Freddie had given me the knowledge and tools I needed to better communicate with my dog. I nearly cried multiple times during this process with how much relief I felt finally making progress and understanding my pup. We are seeing amazing progress every day and there is a huge stressful weight lifted from our household now that we feel properly equipped to talk to our dog in a way she understands and avoid aggressive situations. 1000 stars.

Freddie was super helpful in figuring out that my dog, Parker, just wanted to be social and greet people. He helped me understand Parker and her needs a lot better, while increasing my confidence in both of our abilities.

Freddie was a patient and insightful consultant for our 9 year old dog. Who knew she really wanted to be a social butterfly? We went from hiding in the bushes from other dogs to walking together with confidence. Thank you!

They teach the owners just as much if not more than the pups
